Full description

This is a 2-hour experience from Hiroshima, built around Miyajima Omotesando Shopping Street, Itsukushima Shrine and Senjokaku Pavilion. It is run by Reelu inc, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Miyajima, properly Itsukushima, is the island in Hiroshima Bay whose shrine stands on stilts over the water with its great torii gate in the sea, rebuilt in 1875 and restored in 2022. The gate is walked to at low tide and floats at high tide, and the tide table decides what you see; both are worth it. Deer roam the village, the ropeway climbs Mount Misen for the view over the Inland Sea, and the local foods are grilled oysters and momiji manju maple cakes. From Hiroshima it is a tram or train to Miyajimaguchi and a ten-minute ferry, about 40 minutes in all, or a direct boat from the Peace Park.

The price covers guide, Cultural insights / local stories and Admission fee to Senjokaku. It does not cover Transportation to Miyajima, Personal expenses and Meals and drinks not specified, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

宮島フェリーターミナル. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Reelu inc before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

God tur med mange muligheder for at smage lokale retter. Maden skal man selv købe, men guiden fortæller hvad der er og hjælper med at bestille

Our guide was very helpful when navigating our way back to mainland to pick up our next tour of the peace park

Your guide will meet you at the designated meeting point and ensure the experience runs on schedule while remaining flexible to your pace.

Late March to early April for cherry blossom (2026 full bloom landed around March 29-31), or October-November for autumn color and oyster season. August 6 brings the Peace Memorial Ceremony — moving, but the city is at its most crowded. See our best time to visit Hiroshima guide.
The Hiroden streetcar (flat ¥240) covers most sights, and the meipuru-pu loop bus is free with a JR Pass. Miyajima is a ¥200 ferry ride plus the ¥100 visitor tax. Full fares and passes in getting around Hiroshima.
Two days is the sweet spot: day one for the Peace Memorial Park, Museum and city, day two for Miyajima Island. Our 2-day Hiroshima itinerary maps it hour by hour.
Plan 2-3 hours for the park and museum together — the museum is just ¥200 and opens from 7:30 AM. Etiquette, monuments, and timing tips are in our Peace Memorial Park guide.
The torii appears to float at tide levels above ~250cm, and you can walk out to its base below ~100cm — a single day often offers both. Check tide tables before you go; the full trick is in our Miyajima Island guide.
Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki — layered, not mixed like Osaka's, with soba inside — plus winter oysters and momiji manju on Miyajima. Okonomimura's 24 stalls are the classic first stop. See the Hiroshima food guide.
Miyajima is the essential one; beyond it, Iwakuni's Kintai Bridge and Okunoshima (Rabbit Island) are both doable by train. Honest rankings and logistics in our Hiroshima day trips guide.
